New York native Agim Kaba moved with his family to Florida when he was about 7 years old. A week after graduating from high school, he returned to New York to play soccer for St. John's University. There, he majored in business then switched to fine arts.
A broken foot may have ended his
soccer career, but Kaba caught the eye of a modeling scout and landed some prominent campaigns. Soon after, his modeling launched an acting career; he soon joined ATWT, which was his first job on TV.
During his initial stint on ATWT, Kaba's character was involved in a love triangle between Lucy and Alison, and in 2004, Kaba was nominated for a Daytime Emmy Award for Younger Actor.
However, when his contract was up in 2005, he exited the show to seek other acting opportunities. Over the next couple of years, he appeared on the prime-time series CHARMED and CSI: NY, and had roles in several indie movies, including Haunted Forest. He returned to ATWT after having a talk with Executive Producer Chris Goutman about coming back.
This time around at ATWT, Kaba's Aaron has been involved in another love triangle with Alison and Chris.

Quotable Kaba
"I feel like nothing in the last two years even happened. Like I just hit a speed bump and now I'm back at work. There were a thousand things going through my head, none of which I can explain because my words will not do justice to it.... It's like riding a bike again. But it's more like riding a f---ing unicycle."

"I'm very content on this show. It got me where I am now. I wouldn't mind trying new things. But am I in a rush to try? No. I'm very comfortable where I am. I'm finally settled. Would I do another daytime soap? Never. I would only do this one. This is my family."

"I don't really talk much because I've learned that when you do, it can come back and bite you in the ass. In life, you've got to be careful what you say."
